problem #1

Feb 202004

Rio 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 36,000 miles
Since December '03, check engine light has come on at least a dozen times. On 2 occassions, car bucks while driving and stalls. Have had it in to the dealer 4 times since December. I am now scared to drive the car for fear it will break down again.
